DSCornish, Owner at Hotel Vyvant, responded to this review

Thanks for your review RoseAnn. As I have written here before, all our booking websites define whether the accommodation include private or shared bathroom. However, we're all human and can miss the details. That said, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and found the room to be a lovely one. David.

This is a quaint boutique hotel that is right next to the Little Italy section of San Diego. I'd stayed here a while back, and returned for business in the area. It's a very nice place. Parking is on the street- just identify which overnight can work for you due to local street cleaning. There are plenty of nearby options,...

Chuck - That you for your compliments about our quaint inn, and Denise and her team. It was great to have you stay with us again, almost all our guests are repeat guests, and we love welcoming them back. Thanks for the business. David.

Perhaps not on this site, but on Google and Booking.com the hotel is advertised as having 'free parking'. WARNING: THE HOTEL HAS NO PARKING. Also, it's in a bit of a sketchy area, so if you decided to try a bit of street parking, it's very possible your car will be broken into or stolen. So, if you need to...

Otto - There is free parking in the area, plus pay parking. Third party web site don't provide a lot of options as to how we check boxes for our listings. In no way do we ever intend to imply that he hotel owns its own parking. While there are always risks involved - even in a hotel lot, the...

Great hotel with welcoming friendly people. In good area near to many restaurants and bars in little Italy. Room very comfortable and clean, nice continental breakfast. Staff very helpful when we had a problem with car. Nice outside area to relax in .

Lilly - yeah - thanks for your kind words about our friendly team in San Diego. We so enjoy meeting guests like you! Glad we could assist with you car problem and get you pointed in the right direction. We appreciate your business. David.

Get in and find out. It´s extraordinary. Awesome. We loved the style and and the flair. The staff was very, very friendly. Be aware that you have a nice, single bedroom – but you have to share the bathroom with the room next door. Don´t worry: bathroom is separated.

Harald, thank you for your review, we love that you loved the hotel! Thank you also for your kind words about Denise and her team. They enjoyed having you as our guest. We look forward to seeing you again next time! David.

The hotel is very modern, clean and comfortable.
The shared bathroom is also clean and well kept. I wouldn't hesitate staying here for a short break again.
The location is within a mile or so from the harbour front and it is very close to the Little Italy part of the city.
Hotel parking isn't available however on street parking...

DSCornish, Owner at Hotel Vyvant, responded to this review

Charlotte, thank you for taking time to review our hotel. While most room types have a private bath our economy rooms do share a bathroom which we strive to maintain. We're glad you enjoyed your break, and look forward to welcoming you back the nice time you take a well deserved "San Diego break".

The pictures are very misleading. Our rooms were very dirty, filled with fruit flies and mosquitoes. The bathroom and rooms smelled like cleaner in a stuffy room, the floors turned our feet black, and there was almost no room for us to walk anywhere. The only upside about our stay was that the beds were pretty comfortable and there were...

DSCornish, Owner at Hotel Vyvant, responded to this review

Thank you for your feedback about the hotel. It certainly is not our intent to mislead any guest with photography. If my room smelled of chemicals, and had flying bugs - I too would be concerned. I apologize for your experience and will ask Denise, our General Manager to research those concerns immediately. We are located adjacent to the I-5...

Great place to stay when visiting San Diego! What a convenient location! It is within walking distance of the Harbor, Downtown, Gaslamp District, Seaport Village, etc. When we checked in Denise went out of her way to make us feel at home, even spent the time to explain how to use the Keurig machine to me, plus she is a...

We are glad that you've found your "new place to stay" in San Diego, and we look forward to welcoming you back on a regular basis. David.

Pro:
I really liked the vibe this place has. Casual and relaxed and very welcoming. The location was great and very accessible to Little Italy and the waterfront. The room was spacious and it even had a little kitchenette area. And cute little breakfast served in the morning. I seriously want to rent a room here.
Cons: spacious room due...

Mikey - Thanks for your constructive feedback. I will ask Denise to check the refrigerator and Keurig machine. We've never experience either issue before and will resolve ASAP so other guests are not inconvenienced. Glad you appreciated the room size, breakfast and location. Thank you for staying with us. David.

Great location. Everything is walking distance for nice restaurants in the heart of little Italy. Smaller room but clean and has a kitchenette to make up for it. No cooking stove though. Denise made us feel at home and she deserves a raise! great hotel if you dont want to spend ALOT of cash for a hotel stay. My only...
